Chiral Perturbation Theory for Staggered Sea Quarks and Ginsparg-Wilson Valence Quarks
arXiv:hep-lat/0503009 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.72.054502
Abstract
We study lattice QCD with staggered sea and Ginsparg-Wilson valence quarks. The Symanzik effective action for this mixed lattice theory, including the lattice spacing contributions of O(a^2), is derived. Using this effective theory we construct the leading order chiral Lagrangian. The masses and decay constants of pseudoscalars containing two Ginsparg-Wilson valence quarks are computed at one loop order.
